New JWST observations of Centaurus A detect H2 lines up to S(8) and map a warm molecular disk with a 20-pc cavity aligned to the jet, filamentary high-excitation structures, S-shaped kinematics, and an inward streamer, yielding a warm H2 mass of 5.6e5 solar masses heated by shocks.
JWST data reconstructs the inner ejecta of SNR 0540-69.3 as two similar-sized fragmented lobes, implying a ~300 km/s pulsar kick under symmetry assumption and confirming low-velocity hydrogen mixing in a Type II explosion.
